I have had a few people approach me about making Kitchen Cutlery. I don't have a lot of experience using purpose built kitchen blades. I had even less knowledge about the proper terms and features.

After a bunch of research and help from those in the know. I decided to make a test Sujihiki for my personal use.

Specs:
Steel: 1/8" Aldo 1095
OAL: 390mm
Blade: 240mm
Handle: Stabilized Spalted Sycamore

I have a 270mm in the works for a customer in W2... Comments and Constructive input welcomed and appreciated!
 
Really nice looking blade Ryan. I know less than you about kitchen cutlery, I'm sure of that. But a great looking blade none the less.

That handle looks really nicely shaped and quite comfortable.

I might have "timed" or "clocked" the mosaic pins so that the pattern in both was oriented the same direction. :)


But a minor detail and shouldn't take away from a great knife.

Nice job.



Edited to add: Thanks for making me google a mm to inches converter so I could get an idea of the size of this beauty. :p ;)
 
hahaha... Thanks John, Now you know how I have been with the MM to Inch conversion on Google!

Them Kitchen knife folk are a particular bunch, I came in from the shop and realized I had used two mosaic pins, ran out and DOH they weren't going to budge! thanks for posting! I need to catch up with you one of these days!
 
Thanks Mark, that is a nice piece of your Sycamore on there! I can't stay away from Spalt! :D
 
Nice Ryan, that has really nice lines! I can't ever seem to find the time to make kitchen knives, although really am fond of custom ones.
Maybe we can an action shot of this bad boy!!
 
Thanks Ben. i would love to see a BRT Kitchen Knife!!!

The knife is with a local Chef putting it through the paces. I imagine I will be getting it back and can possibly show my Huge lack of Cooking skills!
 
Thin is in!!!!Nice work, sir. I did a 280mm W2 suji with a Stefan Keller wa handle for my first kitchen knife experiment. Nothing like a little pressure the first time out as I am sure that you discovered.;)
 
That Ryan is a very good lookin thing! Love the lines of it and to me anyway, the butt of the handle resembles a parrots head. Fantastic!
Cheers Keith
